List of Nana chapters

Nana premiered in the Japanese manga magazine Cookie in 2000 where it ran until June 2009, when the series was put on hiatus because of Yazawa's illness.

[2] Yazawa published a two-page chapter of "Junko's Room", a side story about a friend of one of the two main characters, in the March 2013 issue of Cookie.

A few months later, during a beach trip, Nana and Shoji learn about Kyosuke and Junko’s (now a couple) future plans to go to university in Tokyo.

At the thought of potentially finding herself alone, now that Shoji plans to go to Tokyo as well, Nana entertains the idea of studying any type of art degree in the capital to be able to follow her friends.

They go for a drink where Nana seems to find closure when she receives a call from Kyosuke telling her about Shoji’s feelings and warning her that he and Junko are currently looking for her.

Following Shoji’s earlier remarks of her childish approach to moving in Tokyo without money nor a plan, she promises to come and find him as a financially independent women, to which he agrees and finally kisses her.

Later into the night, while they start talking about their dreams and clashing plans for the future, Ren informs Nana that he soon will be going to Tokyo to join a new group.

To slip the rent and save some money, they mutually agree to share the apartment 707 (7 read as nana, なな in Japanese) and move in together.

Meanwhile Nana K., now nicknamed Hachi (short for Hachikō) by her new friends for her enthusiasm and loyalty, faces financially difficulties when her workplace closes down while Shoji gets acquainted with the new girl at work, Sachiko Kawamura.

As a show of gratitude, Nana invites her to stay and spend a day in Disneyland with her which does not sit well with Hachi who feels left out and invaded by strangers in her daily life.

Back at his hotel, they have an emotional reunion where they agree to rekindle their relationship without living together and by letting Nana’s career be her top priority, per her own request.

Surprised by his new found wish to become a professional musician, Reira wonders out loud why he suddenly put aside his promising career in law while Ren listens silently.

While learning more about Reira and Takumi’s bond through Yasu’s stories, 15 year old Shin is also confronted for the first time by his member about his sketchy background and his lack of caution towards his illegal activities and protecting his privacy.

While the group is hopeful for their success, except for Yasu, Gaia’s executives are more sceptical due to the lack of demand for their genre and how common and outdated their style and sound are for the market.

Frozen at the news in the living room, Nana looses it at the sound and storms off to Ren’s place, but not before accidentally breaking the precious pair of glass she first bought with Hachi.

Back at the studio, Reira’s absence is starting to cause issues, prompting Ren to take the opportunity of reprimanding Takumi for his cold attitude towards their singer.

At Search locals, a weekly tabloid, chief editor Kudou is getting angry after the one-month stalking of Ren and Nana comes to a dead end.

Determinated to provoke Blast debut and pit them against Trapnest, he changes strategy and assignes his photographer, Minoru Kurada, to the couple’s hometown to dig out more information.

Cookie Music quickly decides to relocate Trapnest two-weeks jacket shooting to London, rather than staying in Japan, to let the heat die down.

Despite their initial reluctance, especially at the idea of meeting Takumi there, his band members quickly agree to it, convinced by Shin's happiness at having his first birthday celebration.

Tired of his anger, heartbreak and unrequited feelings, Nobu gives into the charms of the most popular guest of the night, Yuri Kousaka, and firmly decides to move on.

If Reira immediately ends it with Shin to protect her group and career, Ren is confronted by Nana's fears, incompatible with Trapnest's future.

Naoki came to announce his intention to go check if the mysterious singer from the bar really is Nana, in the hopes of reuniting the Ichinose family and end Hachi's quest for her missing friend.

Completely lethargic, she remains numb and silent during the wake and goes to isolate herself when Kinoshita, Ren's assistant, gives her her birthday present retrieved from the car crash.

In March 2009, Shueisha published the latest tankōbon volume while its monthly magazine, Cookie, released 4 additional chapters until July 2009[57] and later announced Yazawa's hiatus in their August issue.
